The legal basics for Lebanon businesses online

Some homework before launch:

• New Jersey charges a single statewide Sales Tax of 6.625% on most tangible personal property, specified digital products and certain services; there is no general local sales tax, though reduced rates apply in Urban Enterprise Zones and Salem County and Atlantic City has its own structure. New Jersey Division of Taxation
• Out-of-state sellers have to collect New Jersey sales tax once they reach the state threshold: Gross revenue from delivery of tangible personal property, specified digital products or services into New Jersey exceeds $100,000, OR 200 or more separate transactions, during the current or prior calendar year.
